Love Is In Bloom

Once again, Samuel went to bed at seven and Logan is at Youth service. Maybe Saturday nights will be when I blog. :) I spent the past hour thumbing through a marriage book by Bill and Carolyn Wellons called GETTING AWAY TO GET IT TOGETHER and right now getting away seems like a far off dream, but we plan to do the activities on dates for now. It looks like a lot of fun! I want to retake the servants by design test and have Logan take it too. It is amazing how much it tells you about how God designed you specifically. Supposedly some tornados could conjur themselves up tonight, but I am feeling at peace. I threw a baby shower today and it caused me to be away from Samuel for four hours and the poor fellow couldnt stand it. It is really sweet how much he is attached to me. He was so happy to be with me for the rest of the night and fell asleep really easily after I hugged and kissed on him for a long time. He giggled so much when I smooched his sweet cheeks! Night

Logan is at youth service tonight and Samuel went to bed at 7:20, so I have time to myself tonight. Crazy. right? ;) I forgot what it was like to have a few hours to myself. I chose to spend the first part of it watching the sunset out our back window in the kitchen talking to God. It got me thinking about home. For a while now I have had this longing in my soul to be somewhere familiar. My house, now that we have lived here a year is familiar, yes, but something inside of me hasn't been able to feel that "ah, im finally where I belong" feeling. I go to Little Rock where I grew up and enjoy time with my family, but I miss the familiarity of my house, bed, sites, and sounds of Kansas City. The trains for one. They are always a faint ghostly background noise no matter where you are. I first found it annoying, but now I find it refreshing. It means I am "home", right? When I am here in Kansas City I long for the familiarity of Little Rock. Hinson Road, Heavenly Ham
